Hereford Jive & Swing was founded in December 2009 by a group of local dancers (not teachers) frustrated at the lack of local dances. During 2010 we organised a series of dances in Hereford, mainly 'record hops' but some bands also. In January 2011 Susan took over the solo running and organisation of the group and, after a year of several sell-out band nights alongside regular 'record hops', 2012 sees an expanded programme (see below). The Group is non-profitmaking with any proceeds going to cover investment in equipment and music, and to subsidise an increasing programme of live bands. The more support the dances get, the more we can organise - so come along and have some fun! And please give feedback!

Dancers of all styles are welcome, as are non-dancing partners who want to listen and watch. If you're a beginner or rusty, the dances are a great place to gain confidence and practise moves - especially the 'record hops' which are more relaxed than 'band nights'. If you have no partner, don't worry - we're a friendly lot and there are plenty of 'singles', so you won't be left out.

Steady Edd & The Boogie Men - 8 July

Hurry to get your tickets for our next dance on Sunday, 8 July at the Richmond Club in Hereford. Steady Edd & The Boogie Men play great boogie-woogie, rock & roll, rock, blues, etc. etc ... lots that's great to dance to (and they will be playing a set tailored to jive and swing dancing), and they create a great atmosphere. They played to capacity dances the last twice, so don't leave it too late to buy tickets and miss out. Tickets as usual are £8 in advance or £10 on the door, if any are left. Advance tickets are from Susan on 01432 357859 or email herefordjive@btinternet.com or from jive teachers at Bartestree, Ludlow, Bishop's Frome and Leominster, or from Susan at Lindy Classes in Hereford. The evening runs 7.30-11pm as usual, with the band on around 8pm.
